The sensors for reverse are activated if the car rolls backward without a gear engaged or when the gear lever is moved to reverse position.
The measuring range is approx. 1.5 metres (5 feet) behind the car.
When reversing with a trailer connected to the car's electrical system, parking assistance backward is deactivated automatically.

Parking assistance side sensors are activated automatically when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).
The measuring range is approx. 25 cm (0.8 foot) from the sides.
However, the detection range of the side sensors increases significantly when the steering angle of the front wheels is increased, and obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm (3 feet) located diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle are detected when the steering wheel is turned.
